Step 2: Planning and Cutting

We made two drawings of what would be the arm and joints. This allowed us to readily quantify the material being used.

After choosing the model that we would use, cut the pieces (not much criterion measurements) as shown in picture.

Step 3: Cutting and Mounting Arm

Step 4: Cutting and Mounting Claw

The gripper is designed to move just one piece. It was more simple.
The "finger" was pasted fixed and mobile was seated on a shaft made with a piece of wooden stick that had a piece of cardboard cut in a circle glued on top so as not to leave the place.

Step 5: Cutting and Mounting Base

The base was made from two pieces of cardboard in order to support arm and accommodate syringes in the same set.

The movable part has two holes:

- One in the center (to be able to rotate the base)

- The other end (to link the syringe and allow movement)

The syringe was attached to another piece of cardboard to keep the same level of mobile base.

After verifying the limits of movement, we fix the syringe with the clamps.

I favorited this as soon as I saw it. I really love the idea, and the vibrant colors! Thank you for the time you spent making this instructable, I really enjoyed it and was educated in hydraulics through it.

I do not need the demensions to each part but just out of curiosity, (hope I don't get killed like the cat), what is the size of the whole project put together? I don't even need exact numbers an estimation would even be fine.

Hi Sorry for the delay in responding. In this project, I used 3ml syringes. I do not know the size because I'm not home. As soon as I can, will check the size of them. Although size does not matter much. It depends on the size you'll want to build your mechanical arm.
